The only case I can think of is when they are used on an isolated network that isn't connected to the outside world and all the users on that isolated network are trusted. Seems like a very limited subset of FreeBSD users in general. The company I currently work for (Timing Solutions) does have systems that we deploy into isolated netowkrs like this, and we find it desirable to have these protocols available, but would accept them being disabled by default.
